The Recusant-class light destroyer or the Commerce Guild Destroyer or sometimes called the Separatist Destroyer and also referred to as the Recusant-class warship is a Confederate Warship for the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars and later a New Confederacy Warship used by Admiral Trench during The Last of the Droids era.
Characteristics
Before the Clone Wars
The Recusant-class light destroyer was mostly controlled by an automated droid brain during the early stages of the Clone Wars. This later proved to be a problem, as the droid brain has slower reaction time and often this caused it to run into other ships. Later, during the Clone Wars era, heroic Grievous and other Leaders of the Confederacy had droids command the ship to prevent any more collisions.
Weapons
The Recusant-class light destroyer has lighter armament than the other CIS ships. It is armed with oversized guns, similar to the Munificent-class star frigate. It also has a heavy turbolaser on its prow. Additional weapons include four heavy turbolaser cannons, six heavy turbolaser turrets, five turbolaser cannons, thirty Dual Laser Cannons, twelve dual light laser cannons and sixty point-defense laser cannons. This makes the Recusant powerful during battles. 1-8 Recusant-class light destroyers can easily overpower a Imperial-I class Star Destroyer.
Control Bridge
The Recusant-class light destroyer's control bridge is located in the front of the warship similar to the Munificent-class star frigate. Under the bridge, the Recusant has a Dual Laser Cannon that protects the bridge from being destroyed. Inside the Recusant's bridge, the ship is very similar to the Munificent but still a little different.

The bridge has 8 Driver Battle Droids manning it. The Recusant-class has a chair for T-series tactical droids, Super Tactical Droids, and OOM Commander Battle Droids. Sometimes modified Recusant-classes won't have a chair. Instead the commanders will have to stand.
Complement
While it wasn't meant to perform ground assault, the Recusant-class light destroyer is able to carry 40,000 B1 Battle Droids, 240 Droid Fighters, 30 Armored Assault Tanks and 1 CIS Shuttle. It is also able to carry one C-9979 Landing Craft under the hull of the ship prepared for very quick landing.
Role
The Recusant-class light destroyer is mainly a destroyer, light destroyer, cruiser, and a frigate. It can also serve as a Command Ship for commanders of battles.
